I became a stepmother and got rich with my cute baby.

However, being able to steal something from the heavily guarded Prince's Mansion and making the person disappear shows that he has some skills.

If they meet again next time, she will definitely thank him.

Ji Huaichuan was worried that the other side would see through his strategy of luring the enemy, so he personally led a team of men to the front of the city and shouted.

There were obviously only a thousand people, but he forced them to give off the oppressive feeling of a million-strong army.

"Call out Chu Jingce. I want to fight him."

"Why, he's not a coward who dares not show up, is he? If that's the case, let him kneel down and kowtow to me, and I'll reluctantly leave his body intact, how about that?"

I have to say, judging from Ji Huaichuan's foul language, it is undeniable that he is a hot-blooded man.

But there was no movement from the city.

The main reason was that they couldn't make any noise. In the Prince's Mansion, a group of civil servants headed by the Prime Minister were all busy.

As anxious as an ant on hot pot.

There are people clamoring outside, and the prince is nowhere to be found. They are a group of civil servants. Can they just charge into battle with pens in hand?

I don’t know if I can win quickly, but I died pretty quickly anyway!

"Have someone look for him immediately. We must find him alive or dead. No matter what, we must find the whereabouts of the prince!"

Prime Minister Lu, who was in the lead, had a tense face, frowned, and looked serious.

Such a calm and self-controlled appearance is much better than other officials who are like headless flies.

At this time, the cabinet minister thought for a while, then bowed and said, "Prime Minister Lu, the country cannot be without a leader for a day. Those barbarians outside are shouting loudly, which is really a disgrace to the society. You have the highest position among us. Why don't you temporarily replace the prince and go to confront them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the civil and military officials hurriedly echoed him.

"Yes, yes, Prime Minister Lu, you are brave and resourceful, and you are the head of all officials. It is you who should deal with the little thief when the prince is away."

"Prime Minister Lu, you must not refuse!"

Prime Minister Lu was so angry that his cheeks turned red. He looked so gentle and didn't look like someone who was going to fight in the battlefield.

They were afraid that such a thing would happen to them. If they lost the city, being held accountable would be the least of their worries, but killing all nine generations of their clan would be the worst!

"Can you please listen to what I have to say! Now that the prince is missing and the enemy troops are approaching the city, this is not the time for you to shirk your responsibilities. We should unite as one and fight back the enemy together!"

Prime Minister Lu's words were drowned out by waves of flattery. No one listened to him when he spoke several times. Then they forced him to the front, just one step away from the outside of the hall.

"Prime Minister Lu, the battle situation is urgent now, please go quickly!"

As they spoke, these officials showed triumphant smiles on their faces and pretended to be expectant, which was disgusting.

This is clearly forcing someone to do something they are not prepared for.

Prime Minister Lu had an unpleasant look on his face. He had to go up now whether he wanted to or not.

This group of fence-sitters are afraid of death and love life. When the prince comes back, he will definitely give them a good lecture!

He snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves vigorously, and hurried to the city wall.

The cold wind blew across the desolate grassland, a sign of impending storm.

Outside the city wall, thousands of soldiers and horses were in high spirits, raising their weapons and shouting.

Prime Minister Lu stood on the city wall and felt the solemn and murderous atmosphere coming towards him. He stared at the rebel leader, Ji Huaichuan, with a stern face.

The young man had a graceful figure, and was sitting on the horse with high spirits, staring at the city wall with a defiant look.

That look in his eyes seemed as if the whole world could be contained in his pocket.

"My son, where is your prince? Maybe he saw me coming and got so scared that he peed himself in his bed!"

"I advise you to surrender quickly and don't waste your grandfather's time!"

Prime Minister Lu had never heard such vulgar words before. He pointed at Ji Huaichuan with a trembling finger and said a word.

The deputy general standing beside him was ashamed and spoke for him: "Don't be so arrogant, you thief, I will let you know who is the boss later!"

"Yo, interesting!"

Ji Huaichuan's teasing gaze fell on Prime Minister Lu. Seeing his scholarly smile, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

His mouth was like a machine gun, he kept saying mean things non-stop. Song Wanqing on the side couldn't help but look at him. She really couldn't imagine how this guy could live to this age with such a mean mouth.

If it was her son, she would have strangled him to death in the cradle.

Ji Huaichuan was halfway through yelling when he suddenly felt a burning gaze falling on his back.

He turned around with a smile and asked, "Miss Song, do you want to curse with me?"

Song Wanqing: “…”

She reminded him, "I would never do such a vulgar thing, but City Lord Ji, please be careful and don't be too careless and proud."

Throughout history, many proud people have fallen because of complacency.

Although the prince Chu Jingce is missing, isn't Ji Huaichuan being too careless?

Ji Huaichuan disagreed and turned around to continue scolding.

Suddenly, a dull and subtle sound of horse hooves emerged.

Song Wanqing and Ji Huaichuan looked at each other, and their eyes became solemn at the same time.

Tens of thousands of troops suddenly came from all directions, waving flags with the words "Great Sage Dynasty" clearly written on them.

They were well-trained and marched quickly, and soon surrounded the city wall and Ji Huaichuan and others.

The leader was a fierce general. He had a beard and a golden helmet on his head. He had an extremely strong body, ferocious eyes, but a disdainful smile on his face.

He glared at Ji Huaichuan and said, "You young man, you have been cursing here for a long time but you dare not attack the city. I, Xue, am the first one to look down on you!"

Xue Meng originally planned to wait for Ji Huaichuan and others to take the lead, and then he would take advantage of the situation and kill two birds with one stone, but he didn't expect this guy to be so fussy.

If we wait any longer, it will be dark!

Ji Huaichuan had a gloomy face and glanced at everyone vigilantly.

The clothes they wore were not like those of people from the Central Plains, but rather like those of foreigners.

Apparently, this is another rebel party?

"Where are you from? Today, I, Young Master Ji, want to capture this city. Is it your turn to rob it?" Ji Huaichuan was not afraid of death and narrowed his eyes coldly.

Song Wanqing did not dare to relax either. He held the pistol he had prepared for himself tightly behind his back just in case.

On the city wall, Prime Minister Lu looked like he was either happy or afraid.

When the troops appeared just now, he was frightened and his face turned pale, but after observing for a while, he found that they were two rebels!

The situation is complicated now, with three forces at stake, and no one dares to act rashly.

Moreover, the later team is obviously much stronger than Ji Huaichuan. Let’s see how they fight first.

Xue Meng did not take Ji Huaichuan to heart. How could an army of several thousand people, led by a general with a female military mistress, possibly defeat him?

He turned his head and stared greedily at the city wall. "Come on, leave 10% of the troops here to defend, and the rest of you, attack the city!"

The voice broke through the sky, making Prime Minister Lu panic.

As he watched those strong soldiers begin to equip themselves with slingshots and wall timbers, he hurriedly ordered, "Defend the city!"
